Laboratório de subestação baseado em realidade virtual aplicado ao ensino de engenharia elétrica

Abstract

Discussions about changes in the teaching-learning process have increased greatly with the last few years, mainly because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, with in order to improve the learning of Electrical Engineering students at UFC in the area of substations, a software was developed that recreates, in a virtual way, a real substation and allows students an excellent degree of freedom to explore the environments and substation equipment. In its development, Unity software was used, as the application engine, and Blender software, for 3D modeling of substation equipment and structures. In order to assess a possible improvement in performance, a methodology was carried out that compares the performance of students before and after the test class and the results were good, indicating a significant improvement in the performance of students. Finally, a survey was carried out, based on the UES - SV, on the satisfaction and engagement of the students with the tool and with the methodology and the acquired inputs. To devise active tools and methodologies that aim to improve students training.
